  In this regard, BMW China said that the Oxford plant will suspend the production of electric models, but will not stop the production of MINI models. At the same time, it made it clear that Spotlight, which cooperates with Great Wall Motors, will produce pure electric MINIs. Stefanie Wurst, the new head of MINI, said in an interview with foreign media that the Oxford plant is not ready for electric vehicles. As part of the joint venture project between Great Wall Motors and BMW, the next-generation pure electric model MINI Aceman will be produced in China instead.
